After the heat of the London marathon, the Fewston handicap was a wet and cool one, much better for racing, if not before and after. Paul set off first and retained the lead to the finish, about 45 seconds ahead of Dominic and Peter in third. Graham had the fastest time of the night with 24:54 for the 4 mile undulating course. Sara Richard has come up on the rails to take the top spot in the handicap table with…

From Caroline Marler I thought it was time I sent in my results in the W65 age group of Masters Athletic Competitions. Must be a year or so since I did. I recently returned from The European Indoor Championships in Madrid. There I won the 400m (disappointed with the time of 73.56 as I had done 72.27 recently, but it was a Championship record). I also came 3rd in the 200m with a pleasing time of 31.93, my 2nd best…

Report from Billy On what was to be the hottest London Marathon on record I was a bit apprehensive at the start of my 20th marathon after having already ditched my old t-shirt to wear at the start to keep me warm as I was far too warm anyway! I hung around the entrance to my pen hoping to spot Tash Whittaker to offer a few words of encouragement but failed to spot her. I did however bump into former…

Report from Lizzie Irvine: Temperatures soared and the sun was high over the stunning Dales landscape for the Due North Burnsall half-marathon this weekend. The route followed trails over high fields and moors, through beautiful hidden gullies and along the Wharf between Burnsall, Appletreewick and beyond. Rob Fearnley completed the sweltering challenge in 2:46:27 and Lizzie Irvine staggered back at 2:02:33 as 4th lady. The leading man, Ted Mason, somehow sprinted around to finish in 1:27:47 and the 1st lady…

Report from Howard Another weekend another 10 miler. I nursed my knee during the week because it was swollen and clicking from a bike ride with the saddle too low so I did not get round to running again for a speed session, albeit short, on Friday. Saturday with saddle adjusted properly I rode up to Wetherby to do the parkrun. I wanted to push it a bit harder (23.05) so that today’s 10 was run slightly fatigued to get…

Report from Graham Lake: As I had some free time while the kids were at Grandma’s I thought I’d give this race a go. 12 miles is further than I normally race, so I took it easy for the first section up through the woods and over the open moor, basking in the rare sun and having a good look round at the gorgeous North Yorkshire Moors, watching the line of runners snaking away in front and behind was quite a…

Report from John Davis Last year, I made an agreement with my partner, Debbie. I would enter the London Marathon, which Debs thinks I should do ‘because it’s ours, & it’s one of the biggest in the world’ &, when I got my rejection, I’d get to enter the one I really wanted to do, Paris. That’s how it turned out and, despite a knee injury messing up my training & giving my a terrible last 10k, I enjoyed it…
